b.The General Fund.
c.A permanent fund.
d.Private-purpose trust fund.

Respuesta :

Answer:

D) Private-purpose trust fund.

Explanation:

In this case, the local government must use private purpose trust funds to account for the money received to help other people that are not part of the local government, in this case poor citizens. This type of trust funds are regulated by state laws and they are generally not included in the government entity's budget.
